Man that's cheesy.

That has to be illegal, no question about it.

Dinner sounds like the correct choice.

This list could strech all the way to the moon. There's so much that hasn't made it to CD's.

You wouldn't have a image of that cover? I would like to see it.

So where does Definitive Records get their sources from in order to make a release on their label? I doubt, in the case of the Ike CD, Blue Note said, "here are the masters, have fun." Are they making their releases from older issued CD's, or from records that are in mint condition?

Does anyone here own Jackie McLean's Monuments? How bad is it really? If you have it, do you listen to it?

Well, it's the first and most likely the only one I would buy.

I broke down and bought Ike Quebec's Swing Hi Swing Lo on Definitive records. It is no longer available on Blue Note, or I would have bought it from them. Anyone know if this is a legit label?

Well I found the CD. I fell behind the receiver. I moved it out of the cabinet and there it was. Must have been there for months.

I too store alphabetical by artist. Don't know if I might have not put it back the last time I listen to it.

Last week I felt like listening to Jackie McLean's "One Step Beyond". I went to my room where I store all my CD's, and I could not find it. It's been 8 days now. I looked high and low. Now should I search for it on line and buy it again, or keep looking around my house? How many of you have lost or misplaced as CD? Did yiu go out and buy it again? If so, did the original one turn up at some point?

I saw a CD from a group calling themselves Three More Sounds. A musical tribute to Gene Harris. Has anyone here heard this recording?

Thanks. I know what to expect when the disc arrives.

I just bought this CD from a seller on line. It list 5 tracks, but my copy has a sixth track. Anyone know what that track is?

I guess there is truth to this. People who lose weight may gain wealth NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Overweight people who trim down substantially may improve both their health and their wealth, if new research is correct. ADVERTISEMENT The study, based on 15 years' worth of data from a large U.S. survey, found that both weight and weight changes were related to people's net worth -- their assets minus their debts. In general, people with a normal body mass index (BMI) had the highest net worth, and heavy people who lost a significant amount of weight tended to see their wealth increase. Minor weight changes, on the other hand, showed little financial effect. The pattern was not neat, however. In particular, obese black men had a greater net worth than slimmer black men, and overall, there was no clear association between BMI and wealth among African-American males. In contrast, being thin helped white women's bottom lines the most, according to findings published online by the journal Economics and Human Biology. A white woman's net worth peaked when her BMI was just above the threshold for "normal," while that of white men and black women was greatest when their BMI was at the higher end of normal. White women also lost the most in terms of absolute dollars as BMI increased. Similarly, women and white men tended to gain wealth after losing a large amount of weight. For example, a typical white male who trimmed 10 points from his BMI -- equivalent to a 6-foot-tall male going from 250 to 175 pounds -- had a wealth increase of $12,720. But again, black men differed in that their net worth dipped slightly with such a drastic weight change. The reasons for the racial and gender discrepancy are not clear -- nor is there an easy explanation for the relationship between weight and wealth, according to study author Jay Zagorsky, a researcher at Ohio State University's Center for Human Resource Research in Columbus. A person's body size does not seem to affect measures of wealth like capital gains made from stocks, he told Reuters Health, and so it would appear that weight affects income specifically. Other researchers, according to Zagorsky, have speculated that heavy people may face discrimination in the workplace, which could lower their incomes. Obesity might also raise a person's spending, on food or treatments for obesity-related health conditions, for example. The study drew on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, a large nationally representative survey of Americans born between 1957 and 1964. Zagorsky based his findings on data collected between 1985, when respondents were at least 20 years old, and 2000. The results indicate only an association between weight and wealth, and not a definite cause-and-effect relationship. However, Zagorsky pointed to some evidence that it's weight that affects wealth, rather than the other way around. A subanalysis of survey respondents whose wealth was suddenly boosted with an inheritance found that these individuals had no significant changes in BMI in the following years.

All the best McCoy. Hope you're feeling better soon. Correct me if I am wrong, but Rollins sounds kind of depressed in the article. especially when he talks about not going out or playing golf or listening to music in the city now that his wife has past.

When NY was attacked, it took about 16 months before I was able to get my wife to go back into the city. I told her if you don't go to Manhattan, you let the terrorist win. We go back quite often now.

A true sad world we live in today.

Breaking news on the TV here in the US. 3 London stations evacuated. Could this just be a fire and unrelated to the attacks from 2 weeks ago, but the TV press is treating it differently?

'Star Trek' Star James Doohan Dies By BOB THOMAS, Associated Press Writer 1 minute ago LOS ANGELES - James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and movies who responded to the command "Beam me up, Scotty," died Wednesday. He was 85. Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease, he said. He had said farewell to public life in August 2004, a few months after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The Canadian-born Doohan was enjoying a busy career as a character actor when he auditioned for a role as an engineer in a new space adventure on NBC in 1966. A master of dialects from his early years in radio, he tried seven different accents. "The producers asked me which one I preferred," Doohan recalled 30 years later. "I believed the Scot voice was the most commanding. So I told them, 'If this character is going to be an engineer, you'd better make him a Scotsman.'" The series, which starred William Shatner as Capt. James T. Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as the enigmatic Mr. Spock, attracted an enthusiastic following of science fiction fans, especially among teenagers and children, but not enough ratings power. NBC canceled it after three seasons. When the series ended in 1969, Doohan found himself typecast as Montgomery Scott, the canny engineer with a burr in his voice. In 1973, he complained to his dentist, who advised him: "Jimmy, you're going to be Scotty long after you're dead. If I were you, I'd go with the flow." "I took his advice," said Doohan, "and since then everything's been just lovely." "Star Trek" continued in syndication both in the United States and abroad, and its following grew larger and more dedicated. In his later years, Doohan attended 40 "Trekkie" gatherings around the country and lectured at colleges. The huge success of George Lucas' "Star Wars" in 1977 prompted Paramount Pictures, which had produced "Star Trek" for television, to plan a movie based on the series. The studio brought back the TV cast and hired director Robert Wise. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was successful enough to spawn five sequels. The powerfully built Doohan, a veteran of D-Day in Normandy, spoke frankly in 1998 about his employer and his TV commander. "I started out in the series at basic minimum_ plus 10 percent for my agent. That was added a little bit in the second year. When we finally got to our third year, Paramount told us we'd get second-year pay! That's how much they loved us." He accused Shatner of hogging the camera, adding: "I like Captain Kirk, but I sure don't like Bill. He's so insecure that all he can think about is himself." James Montgomery Doohan was born March 3, 1920, in Vancouver, British Columbia, youngest of four children of William Doohan, a pharmacist, veterinarian and dentist, and his wife Sarah. As he wrote in his autobiography, "Beam Me Up, Scotty," his father was a drunk who made life miserable for his wife and children. At 19, James escaped the turmoil at home by joining the Canadian army, becoming a lieutenant in artillery. He was among the Canadian forces that landed on Juno Beach on D-Day. "The sea was rough," he recalled. "We were more afraid of drowning than the Germans." The Canadians crossed a minefield laid for tanks; the soldiers weren't heavy enough to detonate the bombs. At 11:30 that night, he was machine-gunned, taking six hits: one that took off his middle right finger (he managed to hide the missing finger on screen), four in his leg and one in the chest. Fortunately the chest bullet was stopped by his silver cigarette case. After the war Doohan on a whim enrolled in a drama class in Toronto. He showed promise and won a two-year scholarship to New York's famed Neighborhood Playhouse, where fellow students included Leslie Nielsen, Tony Randall and Richard Boone. His commanding presence and booming voice brought him work as a character actor in films and television, both in Canada and the United States. Oddly, his only other TV series besides "Star Trek" was another space adventure, "Space Command," in 1953. Doohan's first marriage to Judy Doohan produced four children. He had two children by his second marriage to Anita Yagel. Both marriages ended in divorce. In 1974 he married Wende Braunberger, and their children were Eric, Thomas and Sarah, who was born in 2000, when Doohan was 80. In a 1998 interview, Doohan was asked if he ever got tired of hearing the line "Beam me up, Scotty." "I'm not tired of it at all," he replied. "Good gracious, it's been said to me for just about 31 years. It's been said to me at 70 miles an hour across four lanes on the freeway. I hear it from just about everybody. It's been fun."

We should have our own award type poll for jazz artists. When I see the existing ones, and the artists that win, it makes me wonder who is choosing the winnners. 1) Favorite overall artist 2) Favorite Jazz Album, Non Kenny G. 3) Favorite Sax performer 4) Favorite Trumpet performer and so forth..

It is determined by the number of posts you've made. Not quality posts, just posts. The more you have, the more days you get. I think it's one week for every 1200 posts. It's on page 32 of the personnel handbook.

Too far for me.
